Happy First Birthday Tori Bear!

Today Tori turned one year old. In the few months she has been with us she has already accomplished so many things...1. She can say mama, dada, hi ya2. She can use sign language to ask for more3. She can walk and is trying to run4. She loves books5. She loves to swim6. She loves her bath7. She is using a cup, but not giving up the bottle any time soon...she demands it at times8. She can salute (Nick taught her that)9. She can make a disaster of the sun room, repeatedly emptying her book and video baskets10. She has learned she can tolerate the car seat if she sleeps in it11. She went to daycare for the first time (she will go part time when I need to go the doctor, appts, etc.)12. She loves to harass the dog by taking and giving her toys, playing in her food and water, and not letting her get to her mama13. She has been to the ocean twice and now likes the wavy water, but still dislikes the sand14. She can fall asleep easily when going for walks in the stroller15. She still fights going to sleep and wakes up 2-4 times a night16. She loves to hear the same book read over and over many times in a night17. She is eating regular people food18. She likes to ride in her new Step 2 Convertible (trying to keep up with her big sister)19. She loves to blow kisses, give hugs and show she loves her family20. She is definitely attached to her family well! We are thankful to have her in our lives.
